Work Experience
SPACE10 is an IKEA-supported design lab with a mission to improve everyday life for people and the planet.
As Technical Lead, I was responsible for ideating, conceptualising, and developing digital products and services for Spatial Computing projects.
IKEA PLACE
I am particularly proud of my work as the Product Owner for IKEA Place App, an augmented reality app that lets users virtually place furniture in their space. In this role, I oversaw dev-ops, R&D, and feature releases, and helped bring the app to over 40 markets.
IKEA + AUGMENTED REALITY
I also played a key role as Technical Lead in the development of the IKEA Inspire App, a ‘next generation’ augmented reality app that helps users design and furnish their homes by looking beyond just furnishing. It gives people the ability to develop a floor plan and assists them in the design process through intelligence and custom technologies.
I was involved in all phases of the project, from ideation to beta release to scaling, to adoption back towards IKEA and their operational teams.
R&D
I have worked on several R&D projects and proof of concepts, which include visual search, AI/machine learning, virtual reality/mixed reality/WebXR, technology roadmapping and assessment, 3D model innovation and strategy, and intellectual property and patents.
Education
